    All Terraplanes and Hudsons had silver (aluminium paint). engine blocks and heads up until 1948 at least.

    My original 1942 Brougham engine is painted grey with black accessories.

    Have seen at least 9 original 42 engines in my 60 years of Hudson study. All were industrial gray.  Was told by a now deceased Detroit club member that the reason for the gray was the need for aluminum in the war effort, so no aluminum paint.
